With only a few days left until the month of Ramadan, the prices for food packages and iftar menus have been determined. Industry representatives announced that food packages will range from 3,500 to 4,000 lira. Meanwhile, iftar menus starting at 380 lira may go up to one thousand lira.

As the beginning of Ramadan approaches, various sectors, including the ready-made food industry, are expected to become more active with the start of the holy month on March 1 next week. The usual rush seen in the afternoons of other months is expected to shift to the time of iftar. Industry representatives have pointed out that they will try to compensate for the loss of lunchtime meals with Ramadan food packages and iftar tent meals, expressing expectations especially from local governments and charitable tent owners.
